Abstract

Block copolymers based on poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly(ethylene imine) (PEI) are efficient catalysts/templates for the formation of uniform silica nanoparticles. Addn. of tetraethylorthosilicate to a soln. of PEO-PEI or PEI-PEO-PEI block copolymers results in the formation of silica particles with a diam. of ca. 30 nm and narrow size distribution. The particles pptd. with the diblock copolymers can be redispersed in water after isolation as individual nanoparticles. Evidently, block copolymers based on PEO and PEI serve as excellent templates for the biomimetic and "soft" synthesis of silica nanoparticles. [on SciFinder(R)]
